What to do when you're sitting next to a cheater

 

Check these out, too...

  • 10 tips for acing your AP tests
  • 5 last-minute ways to lift your grades
  • 3 signs you need to give your study group the boot
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
In Spanish class, I’m the girl everyone asks for answers. A few days ago, the girl who sits behind me—who is really bad at Spanish, to tell the truth—asked if she could pull my desk back so she could put her feet up on my chair…right before a quiz. When we got our papers back, our teacher announced that I got a perfect grade. And so did she. I don’t want to tattle, but I also don’t want her to cheat off me. What should I do?

 

It’s possible that Spanish finally clicked for this chica who sits behind you. But it’s also possible that she sneaked a peek at your quiz and copied a few answers. There’s no need to become a tattletale in a sitch like this, though if you want to tell the teach, you certainly can. Nobody should get away with cheating.

 

So what to do? Be your usual, friendly self, but don’t be a doormat. The next time somebody asks you for an answer, offer to help them figure it out, say, “Oh, I don’t know about that one,” or change the subject.

 

And for your next quiz or test, it’s time to go on defense. Round your back over your desk and move your arms over the page as you fill in each answer so nobody else can steal a glance at your paper. You don’t need to accuse anyone to stop the cheating. Just make it impossible for them to cheat off of you.

 

Good luck, girlie, and don’t be afraid to speak up!

Hey topaz1116 you asked what the big deal is about cheating? Well, first and foremost it won't help you learn, there isn't anything wrong with studying for a test with a friend, but when you swap answers. You're hurting yourself. If you cheat off of someone else it isn't fair to them,because they probably worked hard to get the answers (plus if they're wrong you're copying wrong answers). Oh, and this is just my personal opinion, but cheating is kind of plagiarism (which is illegal). Lastly, if you get caught the consequences are harsh, in the long run it won't help your education and can get you in a lot of trouble.

There is really no proof that she is cheating...I wouldn't say a word. You could cause a mess for someone who (like the article said) had the language click. I had situations like this were one time the answers just hit me. Maybe it was the same for her.

Nobody should get away with cheating, and telling the teacher that someone is cheating is not being a tattle tale! Good luck with this situation chica!

I cheat all the time, like in my Spanish class me and my friends were sharing answers. What's the big deal?

Okay, so you know One Direction, right? Well my BFF and I really love them, A LOT. There is also a group of girls at my school who love them too, but they talk crap about my BFF and me, saying that we are directionators (fake fans that only like one of the boys and hate the rest), but that isn't true. They think that they are the only directioners that 1D has and no one else deserves to be a fan.It is really immature and annoying, and that is why they hate us, over a band! It sounds completely ridiculous, I know... and no one deserves to be called a 'fake fan'. They are even friends with this one girl and say she is a directionator too. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle all of this? I'm just tired of it. Thanks.




Hey girl!

This whole situation sounds pretty silly. The One Direction boys are adorable, so I totally understand why you girls love them so much. But there's no reason these other girls should act as if they own the band! That's just ridiculous. So instead of getting involved in petty fights with these other girls, stick with your BFF and love One Direction as much as you want. The other girls are being super immature, so don't stoop down to their level!
